Overview

Electronic filing (eFiling) allows members of the Oregon State Bar who are authorized to practice law in Oregon to file documents and pay filing fees electronically. Benefits of eFiling for Oregon’s legal community include:

File documents with the court 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (The ability to file documents with the court is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from any location with internet access, except during regularly scheduled maintenance hours)

Potential cost savings, including a reduction in production, photocopy, courier, and postage costs

A convenient, secure method to file documents and pay associated fees

The flexibility to file a document up to 11:59:59 p.m. in the time zone in which the court is located, on the date that the document is required to be filed

A reduction of the risk of paper files being misplaced or lost

Attorneys must register online to obtain a username and password, and complete free online training prior to using the electronic filing system.

To create or change a password, you will receive a system email. Do not forward the password email to another person to complete. The email is encrypted and may sometimes become corrupted, causing the email link to be inaccessible.

Passwords will expire every 180 days – this timeframe is built into the existing IBM product and cannot be configured by the Oregon Judicial Department at this time.

There are specific rules for creating new passwords. See the Password Rules section below.

Password Rules

Password must:

be at least seven (7) characters long
